Birthday Freebies and Discounts Part 3

And here we are...as SOON as I posted Part 2 a few more email came in!

If you haven't read part one to my Freebies and Discounts post then you can do that here, and you can read part 2 here. :)

These are all the freebies and discounts I can confirm for 2019. These are the ones my sister received as I signed her up for everything I could find. I do recommend creating your very own birthday email account just for this exercise. lol.

1. Chili's - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a free Dessert of her choice!

2. Jason's Deli - Reagan also received a coupon from Jason's Deli for $5 off her purchase. This one does say proof needs to be shown at time of ordering to receive your reward so make sure you have your ID with you.



Great American Cookie - This can be found in 90% of American Malls! Reagan received a coupon for a Free Cookie Cake Slice with any Drink purchase. This one also says to bring in your ID, so make sure you have that with you. :)

Red Lobster - Sent a coupon for a free dessert with the purchase of 2 Adult Entrees. Maximum value of $9.49.

Captain D's Seafood VIP Rewards - Reagan received a coupon for a free dessert of her choice. I don't see that a purchase is required. She also has a month to redeem this one, she received the coupon on 03/23.

IHOP - Reagan also received an email from IHOP giving her a full stack of their pancakes! This is off ANY of their pancakes (flavored ones!!) She has 2 weeks to redeem it, however it looks like our old address is still in their system and she can only redeem this one in Charlotte. So make sure all your addresses and local stores are up to date!




Sbarro Slice Society - Reagan received a coupon from Sbarro's offering her one slice of pizza for FREE. Super cool! I love free food. Discount applies to one slice of XL NY Pizza or Roman Style Pizza. She has about 2 weeks to use this one. It arrived on 3/26.

Balance Me - This is a UK company so I have no clue why I signed up for this, I don't even remember it. lol. Reagan received an email telling her she would receive a FREE full sized product with a 30£ purchase. Pretty cool. I think the difference in converting is about $22 in US.

Cinnabon - On March 28th (the day before Reagan's birthday) she received a coupon from Cinnabon for a FREE Iced Coffee. She has about two weeks to use this one. Oddly, it says exclusive of alcohol. Is there a Cinnabon that serves alcohol? WHERE AT!? Also you also get a coupon just for signing up, but it's for Cinnabon minis. That's always fun!

CVS takes your birthday very seriously. If you read the first Birthday Freebies post you know wayyy back at the beginning of March Reagan received a digital coupon for a free nail polish and several other coupons that may or may not have been birthday related. As soon as the clock struck midnight signaling March 29th, Reagan received another coupon from CVS. 40% off one single item. Which is cool! I would never say no to savings. She has a week to use this one.

Waffle House Regulars Club - On March 29th, Reagan received a coupon from Waffle House for 1 free classic waffle. So any toppings would be extra. She has about 2 weeks to redeem this one. Another free food item!

Julep Ambassadors Program - She got a digital badge. lol.

Colorscience - This is a beauty care company, and for her birthday they gave Reagan 1000 points which equals out to $5. The company has free shipping on their website but they are SUPER expensive. So even though she received the $5 gift card we won't be using this one sadly.

Dr. Gross Skin Care - Another skin care company! They sent Reagan a coupon code for a free deluxe mini Alpha Beta Exfoliating Moisturizer. Again this company is super expensive so for a free gift with purchase we will have to pass on this one as well. But if you do love to try new companies your birthday is a great time to do it! :D

Kellogg's Family Rewards - They sent Reagan a 100 bonus points which is cool. I like this site for their high value coupons.








Marlboro - Reagan received 1000 points to their new points program. Pretty cool! You basically get points for entering in codes from the packs, like it was YEARS ago. This was not enough to get anything however, but cool to get!



Panera Bread - Reagan received an email explaining she has received a free a free pastry or sweet.
She has about a week to use this one.






Old Orchard Juice - Reagan received an email on her birthday with 3,000 Reward Points -- you can put these points towards a fun Reward Item found at their Rewards Store! We used the reward to purchase the coupon redeemable for any one (1) FREE Old Orchard 64oz bottle OR 12oz frozen juice or drink product. Maximum value: $3.69. So FREE Juice! This comes as a post card within a few weeks of redeeming it.

MyChelle - This is an interesting one. When I signed up for it over two months ago they had FREE shipping on the entire site. That is no longer the case. For her birthday they sent Reagan a coupon code for a free Sun Shield Stick and 500 points. The points bring her to 1000 points and I was thinking awesome, she can get the free sun shield stick AND an item under $10 for free. Well, you can't use both the rewards points and the Free Sun Stick together and on top of that shipping would be $4.95 per order. So..that negates the purpose to me. Probably won't be using these, I am going to email ask if the shipping can be waived on at least the free item they sent her.

The Balm - Reagan received an email saying they have gifted her with 50 Balm Bucks. I checked their website. I didn't see where you could redeem them. I honestly have no clue what they are for. I did spin a wheel when I opened the page and it gave me a 25% off code but even that wouldn't work for whatever we had in the cart. Go figure.

Spongelle - Reagan received 500 points on her birthday.

A reward is available with Points
Free Gift! The free gift is a (1) Free Zodiac Buffer.

Algenist - Reagan received an email with 200 Algenista Rewards Points!

Ole Henriksen - Reagan received a unique coupon code for a free 0.25 oz Truth Serum with any order. This is a deluxe sample size. Their products are a bit pricey but if you shop here this is an amazing deal. :)

Firehouse Subs - Reagan received an email telling her that Firehouse added a FREE Medium Sub reward to your Firehouse Rewards account. She has exactly 7 days to use this reward.

Jersey Mike's Rewards - Reagan received an email from them with a link that generates a one-time coupon for a Free Regular Sub & Fountain Drink! That's an entire free meal! How cool is that?

La Mer - Reagan received a coupon code for a FREE The Treatment Lotion with her next purchase. Y'all...this site was so expensive. The do offer free shipping, gift wrapping and samples on every order but some of their lotions were like $350!!! The cheapest thing I found was a sheet mask for $25 and I'm not even sure this lotion is full sized. Full sized it's $85 on their website. So...I'm not sure on this one yet.

Darphin Paris - Reagan received a coupon code to receive a free duo with any purchase. Again this is another very pricey skin care line. The cheapest thing on their site was $20 for a lip oil.

Estee Lauder - Reagan received a coupon code for a 2 luxury travelers for free with any purchase.









Adam & Eve - ADULTS ONLY on this one. lol. She received an emailed coupon for 50% off any one item and a free Birthday kit (either for her or him) with any purchase of $17. The Birthday Kt supposedly has a value of $50. So that's an interesting one.

Regal Crown Club - Reagan received an email from Regal giving her a free small popcorn! So if she were to go to the movies...free popcorn. :D

Old Navy - Reagan received a unique code on her birthday for 15% off her entire purchase. She has 10 days to use it!

Coola - This is a really cool one! You can read my Coola post here! You join, you get some points and the on your birthday you get another $10 in points. So my sister joined a month ago and made $10 in points and then on her birthday she made another $10. So she had $20 to spend. She decided she wanted this Mineral Liplux Organic Tinted Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 30 in the color Summer Crush. I know she's going to be taking this with her on her Cruise in October. So this was really cool. This was $18 and she got it free with free shipping!

Birthday Freebies & Discounts Part 2

Andddd we're back! Now that it's mid-month I'm seeing more freebies and discounts start to roll in. This is pretty exciting. Also some items have arrived! My sister, Reagan, who celebrates her birthday in March has received everything from Makeup to Jewelry for her birthday. This is so fun!

If you haven't read Part 1 to our Birthday Freebies and Discounts, then please do so here!

This post is getting a little long so I'm stay tuned if there is a Part 3!!

Here are some MORE things she has received.

1. Ulta-mate Rewards - This freebie changes all the time. Reagan's email said she would receive a deluxe sample of It Confidence in a Cream. This is really cool, but she did just receive a full size of this in her March BoxyCharm. We will be picking it up in Johnson City as we have to go there anyway to pick up her Torrid order and use her $5 Hot Topic reward. We have a few things we are going to be redeeming in the mall there. Email received on March 15th.



2. Arby's - Arby's sent Reagan a coupon for a FREE sandwich with the purchase of any drink. This is a pretty good one as their sandwiches can get pricey. It looks like this has select sandwiches you can choose from. Also if you sign up today you get that same coupon just for singing up!

3. Olive Garden - On March 15th, Reagan received a coupon for a free dessert from Olive Garden! This one also has a coupon for you to use just for signing up. A free dessert or appetizer with 2 entree purchase. So make sure to sign up for this one!

4. Jane Iredale Beauty Rewards - Reagan received a coupon code for 20% off her purchase. We are not going to be using this one. lol.

5. World Market Rewards - Reagan received a coupon code for 15% off her purchase. Another one we probably won't be using.

6. Red Robin - On 03/19, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE burger from Red Robin! This is a very nice freebie, a free meal is always welcome!

7. Texas Roadhouse - On 03/19, Reagan also received a coupon from Texas Roadhouse for a free Appetizer or Sidekick of Ribs! More free food! I'm not seeing any required purchases to get this one either. It looks to be completely free. The other day we got a coupon from them for the kids, so it's very cool they do both adults and children. Just for signing up for their club you also get a free appetizer as well!


8. Maggiano's Little Italy - And on 03/19, Reagan also received a coupon from Maggianio's for $10 off her order! Now this one does require additional purchases. Minimum purchase of $30 required. It's also nice to to know that just for signing up for this one, you will receive a coupon for $10 off your purchase as well. So that's not too bad if you enjoy their food or live near one.

Golden Corral Gold Club - This was a twofer! Reagan AND Tristan both received an emailed coupon for a Free buffet with the Adult purchase of a buffet. That's about a $10-$14 value depending on when you go. Email was received on 03/22.



Hash House A Go Go - This is a very popular restaurant. They serve gigantic portions. Very popular in Las Vegas. They have a birthday freebie! I haven't seen this one on any other lists, it was found quite by accident honestly. Free DINNER entree of equal or lesser value with purchase of DINNER entree. Good only at Dinner. To sign up for this one you go to the main page and scroll down until you see the form for their Farm Club. Reagan received her coupon on 3/22.

Denny's Rewards - This one is a bit different. ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, you show up with a valid ID showing your birthday and you get to build your own Grand Slam Breakfast. For kids 11-18, if they do not have a valid ID a parent must be present to validate that. I'm guessing verbal validation. lol.

Ruby Tuesdays - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Burger or Garden Bar up to $11! I love free food! And when you join, you get a coupon for a FREE appetizer.

The Macaroni Grill - On 03/22, Reagan also received a coupon for a FREE dessert with the purchase of an Entree from Macaroni Grill. This one doesn't expire for a month! When you join their Newsletter you get a coupon for $5 off your next purchase.

Church's Chicken - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE leg, thigh or tender strip of her choice. This one does not appear to require an additional purchase, so a completely free piece of chicken!

Bojangle's E-Club - Reagan received a coupon for a free Bo-Berry Biscuit with any purchase. So get your coffee, get your biscuit and breakfast is done! Pretty cool little freebie. I don't know how much a Bo-Berry biscuit is but I'm assuming it's a $1 or $2. When you sign up for their E-Club you do get a coupon for a FREE 1/2 gallon of their legendary ice tea with purchase.

Marie Callender's - Reagan received a coupon for a free slice of pie with an Entree purchase. For whatever reason this coupon was only valid in Las Vegas? Go figure on that. lol.

Sonny's BBQ - This is a nice one! Reagan received a coupon for FREE Big Deal Combo! No other purchase is necessary with this one. FREE MEAL! Score! Valid for about 2 weeks after coupon is received and she received this one on 03/22.







For the Kids:

Texas Roadhouse - On 03/14, we received a coupon for a FREE kid's meal with the purchase of an Adult Entree. This is pretty nice! Their kids meals have tiny burgers and stuff. :D

BuyBuyBaby - Received a coupon for 20% one item online or in store for your child's birthday.

Baskin-Robbins - Cadence (My niece who turns 3 on March 21st) received a coupon from Baskin-Robbins on 03/16 for a free Kid's scoop of ice cream!

Chuck E Cheese - Cadence received a coupon on 3/20 for 100 tickets with any food purchase for her Birthday! Cool, thanks Chuck E. Cheese!

Golden Corral Gold Club - This was a twofer! Reagan AND Tristan both received an emailed coupon for a Free buffet with the Adult purchase of a buffet. That's about a $10-$14 value depending on when you go.

Denny's Rewards - This one is a bit different. ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, you show up with a valid ID showing your birthday and you get to build your own Grand Slam Breakfast. For kids 11-18, if they do not have a valid ID a parent must be present to validate that. I'm guessing verbal validation. lol. 

Amazon Freebies and HUGE discounts--Say What?!

Hi, everyone! I hope your Daylight Savings night is going well! If you follow my Instagram feed you know I get A LOT of free items from Amazon and the #1 question I'm asked is "HOW?!" It's pretty simple and pretty time consuming but let me break it down for you.

There are websites out there that give you coupons to get items at a deeply discounted rate. Below you will find all the links to the websites that I am talking about. You are given a unique code to check out with and then you will see the discount come off. I've gotten $30 items for as little as $3 or even FREE. Step 1. Have Amazon Prime. This only is going to work with Amazon Prime otherwise you are paying shipping.

So how does this get me free items? It's completely within the terms and conditions of Amazon, you aren't breaking any laws and you aren't stealing.

On some Amazon pages you will see a coupon that you can clip! There is also a place on the Product page that gives you additional discounts, such as buying multiples percentages off buying one, so it's like a hidden discount. So once you stack those together, along with your coupon from one of the discount sites you can get a HUUUUGE discount on items or free items if they stack together.

Here are 2 examples of unclipped coupons. One is for a percentage off and one is for a dollar amount off. You can see either of these on products, always clip those is definitely a savings.

So let me show you how the stack works.

I have this unique code for these pretty cool sunglasses here:

The coupon is for 70% off of these sunglasses. The original price is $8.88. These are super cute and could definitely create a look, so I'm like, okay, let me check the Amazon product page.

I was delighted to see a $1 coupon! I clipped it! Then I scrolled down, past the "Other buyers bought this" list, to see if there was even MORE of a discount!

And yes, as you can see there is a discount on multiples and that has a coupon code as well. So if I buy 5 pairs I get an additional 15% off. I copy that code and then I add 5 of them, one in blue, the teal, the pink, the purple and the yellow! So my total is now $41.40. I see my $1 off and sadly this will only be off 1 pair of sunglasses. So I'm looking at $40.40.

I enter in my unique code and the code from the product page and what I see is that my total is now $11.42.

Well, that's a bummer. The seller is not letting my unique code and the multiple discount stack. But that does tell me that the unique code worked on EACH pair of sunglasses and not just one. So all five pair for $11.42? NICE. But me being me, will not spend that much so I just kick all of the colors out of my cart and look at purchasing just the pink pair.

Okay, so these are just the pink ones, and I do have a bit of a gift card left over...what I'm also seeing is that the total for JUST the pink pair is only $1.06, after my gift card balance I'm just spending .24 OOP. Yup, I think I'm going to do it! They are cute and I like the look of them. If I do add the teal pair back in I'm getting both pair for $3.36 which still isn't bad, but I'm going to stick with my .24 pink option.

So that is how I stack codes to get a much more discounted product than what the original code would have given me. Remember that original coupon said I should get the glasses for $2.66. As you can see, it DOES NOT work all the time!  You have to play with it, try a few things, see what gives you the best discount. If I had $10 I probably would have gotten all 5, but sadly, my budget is almost non-existent.

And here they are! This is my .24 set of Sunglasses you see in the photos above. :) 

I stumbled across this a few months ago with a bondage kit. Go figure. It's a long story, but let's just say I wound up with 10 purple bondage kits for free. lol.

If I find a stack that gives the item free I will post an update. :)

A few tips for you: 

1. If you read Kindle books and aren't in a hurry to receive your item then click that little box and wait for your shipping to get a $1 Amazon Digital reward. This is how I buy my Kindle books! (So if I'm honest about it, after my digital code I'm only spending .06 on those sunglasses!!)

2. Check the product page BEFORE you request the code. Sometimes you will see that they are actually offering that same discount on their product page, that way you don't have to deal with requesting a code, you just copy it from that Special Offers and Product Discounts section.

3. Please know that not all coupons will stack. But it never hurts to try. And sometimes the code you request may not work, if that's the case, you can reach out the seller or mark it as unworking.

4. Show me what you get! I love seeing what people get and how big of a discount they get, it's awesome.

5. HAVE FUN. If it's not fun, it's not worth doing.

Here are some of the BEST Amazon Discount sites. I will put a * by my favorites.

*Elite Deal Club - This one drops codes at 10am EST, 2pm EST and 8pm EST. They go FAST. This is how I get a lot of my Christmas gifts during those months and things I put away. Super easy site to use but you gotta be quick.

Vipon - This is very popular, and I've gotten some great discounts on there. The bondage kit code come Vipon!

*Jumpsend - This one is hit or miss, but still my favorite. For this one you have two types of codes. There are codes that are Auto, meaning as soon as you click Request Coupon, you get your coupon and you're off to the races. The second type is where you request the code and you have to wait to be approved for it. I've waited before and never got accepted and was bummed and that can be a bit frustrating at times. But today I got two pairs of cuff links. One was automatically given to me and i bought them for .13 the second ones I had to wait to be approved and once I was it was .05! So those are going to be birthday gifts for my Brother-In-Law. :D (When you open this site click I WANT TO SHOP)

Zondeals - This is a good one! I see a lot of really nice items on here, a lot of kids and party stuff. This is one I check daily!!

UPDATE: I DID POST ONE WHERE THE STACK WOUND UP FREE! YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT POST, IT WAS EPIC!

Coupon Campaign 2019 #3

Happy March!! This is an exciting month! This is my sister's birthday month and we are excited to see what Freebies come rushing in! As well as a lot of remodels to my sister's house. I've had to put a lot of my dreams on the back burner. But maybe things will work out. We shall see.

So here we go.  I will be adding to this list throughout the day as I get time to shoot off an email. And I will update the other two lists when I get responses. Have you emailed anyone? Who? Did you get a response? Let me know!

Here are the companies I've emailed on March 1st, 2019.

1. Friskies - I emailed them to tell them about our cat, OJ. I asked for any coupons or samples. On 03/05, I received an email response stating they were going to send me coupons! On 03/11 I received a FREE product coupon for up to $2.80 off any tub or Friskies canned cat food. :) 

March 6th, 2019:

2. Tostito's - I emailed about their Salsa Con Queso cheese dip and expressed my enjoyment of the product, and asked if they had any samples or coupons. On 03/07 I received an email stating they did not have any samples but they are sending me coupons! On 03/12 I received 5 coupons! 3 for $1/1 any Lay's snack product and two .55/1 coupons.
3. Qauker - I emailed them how much I love their Peaches and Cream oatmeal and asked if they had any samples or coupons to send.

March 7th, 2019:

4. Blossom Beauty - I bought a lip gloss from this brand and it was heinous. The taste was so gross! I emailed them to let them know the flavor was way off. I did not receive an email response from them but yesterday I got notification that a box weighing 1 lb is on the way from the company!
5. Shout - I emailed them and let them know how awesome I thought Shout was, I also asked if they had any coupons or samples they could pass along. On 03/08 I received an email back from Shout saying they would send me a coupon booklet. On 03/15 I did receive a coupon packet from them of various high value coupons for their products!
6. Aveeno - I emailed them to let them know how much I enjoy their shampoo. I also asked if they had any samples or coupons.
7. Pond's - I emailed them to let them know how much I enjoy their cleanser, I asked if they had any coupons or samples. On 03/08 I received an email response that said they did not have anything to mail at this time but they added me to a snail mail list?

Who have you tried? What responses did YOU get? Let me know if I'm missing something!

Birthday Freebies & Discounts Part 1

I hear your birthday is coming up. Well, not really, but my sister's birthday month is March so LAST MONTH I signed her up for every birthday freebie and discount I could find. She started receiving things at the end of February and there have been a very steady stream of emails since March 1st. Her birthday is March 29th.

A few tips before you start signing up for freebies and discounts for your birthday. Sign up for these freebies at least a month or more before your actual birthday month. You want to make sure you get into their system.

 Set up an email address specifically for your birthday. I did mine as caseysbday1980@gmail.com. You do something similar but you will get sooooo many newsletters it WILL clog your regular email up. Once you have that done then you can start searching. Now I'm sure there are some out there I didn't find, always check with any local places as well, sometimes you have local stores and shops that have a birthday program. Also make sure you log into each account and fully fill out your profile updating your birthday and mailing information. Some items do come via postal mail.

Another quick tip: Download and install the Ebates plugin. Even if your order is free for you, you can still get a percentage back on your orders. So that's making money off your freebies!

1. Ikea Family Rewards - This is a great one! They sent Reagan a coupon for $15 off any purchase AND a free meatball meal with dessert in their cafeteria. Reagan did use hers, she bought a baking pan and some little bowls and forks, she picked up a few other things but she was able to get $15 her entire purchase. How awesome is that? I wish she would have taken a picture of her meal but alas, she did not. She receive this coupon on March 1st.

2. DSW - I love this site! When you sign up you get $10 to spend on anything in the store, and randomly they will put $5 or $10 in your account, which is awesome. For your birthday, you do get $5 to spend. Their site boasts free shipping on any item so she was able to get some adorable Easter socks for FREE. They have already been shipped. This reward was sent to Reagan via the postal mail AND it was added to her account on March 1st.

3. Torrid Insiders - Torrid USED to be one of y favorite plus sized stores, but they have changed so much it's not even in the same aesthetic anymore. But for your birthday they do give you $10 to spend! This is towards any item, you can spend it in store or online. If you do shop online you can have it shipped to a store near you completely free. Reagan perused the clearance section and found a pretty cute bralette in the color peach and after a sale, a coupon and her birthday reward she spent .20! That's right TWENTY CENTS. She chose to pick up in store for free. This was added to Reagan's account on March 1st, but she did not receive any emails or messages alerting her to that, so just check the account. (She scored 2% cash back on her purchase through Ebates!)

4. Tarte Rewards - Ohhh, for my make-up lovers...Tarte will give you a gift with purchase and 20% your purchase. This year the gift is a Clay blush and mascara. Shipping is free if you spend $40 otherwise its $6. We lucked up. Reagan wasn't going to get this one, but Tarte ran free shipping for a day off any purchase, so we used her rewards to buy a travel sized facial wipe for $4. After her coupon and the sale, she spent $3.40 for the wipes, the birthday gift set, and 2 samples. Not bad at all! She can take those wipes on her cruise in October! She received her email on March 1st. (She scored 8% cash back on Ebates for her purchase!)

5. Medieval Times - For her birthday, Reagan received a coupon for FREE ENTRANCE into Medieval Times with the purchase of an adult  admission. Pretty cool, but the closest one to us would be in Myrtle Beach, SC and that is at least a 6 hour drive. So sadly we won't be redeeming this one. But this would be awesome to sign up the kids for! She received her coupon on March 1st.

6. Charming Charlie - This company sends you $10 to spend on anything you want. Which is super cool, they have some ADORABLE stuff. We don't have a Charming Charlie store near us so we would have to do the online shopping. Shipping price is $6 so I'm not sure if we will redeem this one. Maybe we can get near a store before the end of the month. She received her email on March 1st. (If you decide to order online you can score 2.5% cash back on Ebates!)

7. CVS Beauty Club - This is another little beauty freebie! On March 1st, Reagan received an email for a coupon towards a Pop-arazzi nail polish. She could choose any color she wanted and the coupon was $2.99 off so it would be FREE. She chose the shade Mermaid Charade. She received her nail polish coupon on March 1st and it had to be redeemed by March 15th.. **Note: I'm not sure if this was for her birthday or not, but I didn't have the same coupons on my account. She was sent an email that contained $2 in rewards towards Beauty Items, $2 in rewards towards food items, $2 in rewards towards Health and Wellness, $2 in rewards towards Home products, $2 in rewards towards Personal Care. She received these coupons on March 3rd. (If you shop this one online and pick up in store then you can score 2% cash back on this from Ebates!)


8. Qboda - This is a pretty interesting one. We do not have a Qboda near us so we won't be able to redeem this one, but Reagan received a coupon for a Free cookie. It looks like there are levels to your freebie. You can reach the level to get a taco...or an entree. Each level depends on how often you eat there.  She received this email on March 1st.

9. Kohl's Yes2You Rewards - On March 1st, Reagan received an email giving her a Bonus 50 points. Which from my understanding is about $2.50. We have not tried to redeem this, I'm not even sure how this program works. Email was received in regards to this on March 1st.

10. LovelySkin - This site sent Reagan $5 to spend on anything she wants and their online shop has free shipping, however there is NOTHING in that price range. Anything under $10 has a requirement that you buy a minimum of 2. So if you shop here already or really want something this is great. Email was received March 1st.

11. TGI Friday's - Reagan received a coupon for a FREE dessert with no purchase required on the coupon. I'm hoping that get to redeem some of the food freebies soon! This is a great one. Coupon was received March 1st.

12. Space NK London - Reagan received a coupon for a Free Trio of products in store OR online, Online requires a purchase however, and their products are a bit pricey. The closest store is in Atlanta. Sadly, we will have to pass on this one. (If you shop this one online you can score 2.5% cash back on Ebates!)

13. PF Chang's - They sent Reagan a Free Dim Sum or Dessert up to $12.99! This is awesome! That's a great value. PF Chang's is nowhere near us. I'm hoping we get towards Charlotte again soon.



14. Kirkland's - sent Reagan a 20% off code PLUS a free birthday gift in store. I've heard it's a basket and you get to choose what you want. Some of the next freebies we will have to go to the Mall in Johnson City, TN to redeem. We are hoping to get there soon. I know there is a Birthday Candle in there, and that would be so cute to get!




15. Krispy Kreme - This is a FAVORITE one. I love Krispy Kreme. Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Doughnut and a beverage (either coffee or a soda). This is super cool and has around a $5 value.

16. Pizza Hurt - Pizza Hut sent Reagan a coupon for Free Cinnamon Sticks but it looks like it will be for the specific store you sign up with as your main store. Hours happens to still be connected to a store in Charlotte.There is a MINIMUM PURCHASE OF $5 REQUIRED.

17. Champs Sports sent Reagan $10 off $50 purchase or $25 off a $100 purchase. This is another one we won't be redeeming, but if you need shoes this is a great time to buy them! 

18. Hardrock Cafe sent Reagan a buy an entree, get one free coupon! Free Entree valid for Salads, Entrees, Smokehouse Burgers or Sandwiches. Pretty nifty! Sadly, there is no Hardrock near us.

19. Hot Topic - Hot Topic used to be sister stores with Torrid, so that should tell you how much Torrid has changed. They gift you with $5 towards any purchase but unlike Torrid, you cannot do free ship to store if the purchase is under $10. You will be charged $2 for ship to store and $5 shipping to your address. This one is better to just shop in store and save your $2. This is another mall trip. Their socks were $4.90 so that will totally be free, they also had some lip gloss sets that were under $5. She did get an email on this one! It arrived on March 1st. (If you decide to shop this one online you can score 2% cash back on Ebates!) 

20. Perricone MD - This store sent Reagan a coupon code for $25 off online. When we checked out the site, there is absolutely NOTHING under $30. Perricone is a bet expensive but they do have some amazing skin care products, if you are a fan of this company you will definitely enjoy the coupon. The site does boast Free Shipping, and you can get a Lipstick or Mascara for $5 after coupon, they also have free samples with every order. So far, Reagan has opted NOT to sue this coupon. I may use it though, if she won't! lol. (If you shop this one online you can score up to 9.5% cash back on Ebates!)

21. Aveda sent Reagan a coupon for a free product trio plus free shipping on a $25 order. They also encouraged her to visit a store for a free hand ritual. They have a pretty interesting store. They do give freebies out a lot just for stopping in, and if you check online you can sign up for FREE facials, free makeup artist, free hair styling and more. (If you shop this one online you will score 4% cash back on your purchase through Ebates!)

22. Coke - Coke sent Reagan a Coke Code! Pretty cool, these can be used to enter a giveaway or to help you with a redemption for gift cards or other prizes that they do randomly.

23. Walgreens Balance Rewards - Reagan received an email stating she would have 10% off on any "eligible purchases" all month long!

24. Godiva Chocolate Rewards - YUM! Reagan received a $10 off $10 purchase online or in store. They do NOT have free shipping, so in store would be a better option here unless they run a sale with free shipping, which we missed by 15 minutes!! lol. UPDATE: It came back! We were able to score a box of their mixed truffles for $2.05 shipped after taxes. Always look for those sales that stack! (If you shop this one online you will score 4% cash back on your purchase through Ebates!)

25. Dippin' Dots Dot Crazy Email- Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Small cup of Dippin' Dots! She loves Dippin' Dots so this will be very special for her. :)





26. Sephora - Reagan was able to purchase their Free Shipping program for $15 a few months back with a gift card I gave her, so
we were able to find a small $2 item to purchase (which she also used a gift card for) and was able to redeem for her Free Birthday gift. She was able to choose between 2 things. Either a Kat Von D face set or a Drunk Elephant Skin Care box. These are both deluxe sample sizes. Reagan chose the Kat Von D. She was also able to choose 2 more samples to go with it and she got a gorgeous Dior lip bubble sample packet and a Tarte facial wash foil packet. You can definitely just walk in to redeem this one in store, but it was easier to just order it in case we DON'T make it to Johnson City. (Reagan scored 8% cash back on her purchase through Ebates!)

27. Express Next - Reagan received $10 credited to her account for a purchase towards anything, no minimum. Express is not near us so we didn't think we would redeem this one because shipping is $6 from this store, but they ran a sale and she was able to get a cute little heart necklace shipped for FREE. So that was pretty amazing that we were able to take advantage of that coupon code. They used to have cute little cups and journals and things of that nature but I think they stopped carrying those items as I didn't see ANY of that. (AND she got 2% cashback on the $10 purchase through Ebates)

28. Estee Lauder - Estee Lauder gave Reagan a free gift with purchase on their website. They do have free shipping, but the cheapest thing we saw on there was a mini for $10. You do get a deluxe sample as well with purchase so for $10 plus tax you wind up with some awesome items. She received an email with a unique coupon code.

There are some we are still waiting on to verify that they are going to work so stay tuned for Part 2 of this post!

Here are a few freebies and deals for Kids on their birthdays!

For the Kids:

1. Nickelodeon Jr. Phone Call -  For the little ones! A free birthday call from one of the Nickelodeon Jr. characters. I set up Tristan for a phone call from Paw Patrol and Cadence for a phone call from the Bubble Guppies. You have the option of choosing a time so you can make sure you don't miss the phone call. Pretty awesome for the little ones. 

2. Build-a-Bear - This is a really cool one! At Build a Bear your child can build the Birthday Teddy Bear and you will just have to pay their age! This is super cool for the younger ones. So Tristan will be 5 so his bear will be $5 and Cadence will be 3 so the cost of her bear will be $3. How cool is that?! They get the full experience for not a lot of money. 

I don't know a lot of kid freebies, most are for adults, but I'll keep looking to find some more!

Received that email on 02/27. On 03/08 I received a second email from them telling me they do not send out samples. (Funny, I just got one from them! lol)
6. Deerpark - Praised their waters, they responded on 02/27 stating that they would send me a coupon. On 03/05 I received 3 coupons from them! One FREE PRODUCT coupon for a free pack up to $5.10 and two $1.50/1 coupons. Super excited!

10. Tatcha - I sent an email saying how much I loved their face masks, they responded and said they do not have coupons or samples to send. Received response on 02/26.
11. Aveda - I messaged them on Facebook and asked if they had any samples of a certain type of product I've been wanting to try, they responded back and asked for my address! Received response on 02/27. On 03/11 I received a BOX from Aveda. It contained 5 deluxe sized sample products in a gift bag with a handwritten note!
12. TruMoo Chocolate Milk - I emailed them how much the kids love their milk, on 02/28 I received an email stating they would send me 3 coupons! On 03/08 I received three .75/1 coupons! 
13. Avon - I complimented their daily face scrub and asked if they had any samples.

So as you can see, I am getting responses. I'm trying some out of the box type of companies and trying to get some samples and/or coupons and I'm hoping to get some awesome stuff to show you. You can always follow me on social media to see all the freebies and things I do get. I certainly hope this helps you all. With groceries being so expensive, this is one way to help save on brands you know you use! I have a list of places to try tonight and I will always keep you updated on what I receive as well as any email responses. And just because I strike out with a company doesn't mean you will, it never hurts to ask. And always be honest with what you think of their products.

Coupon Campaign - April Day 10

I have some very very exciting news! Stay tuned for the post regarding my TINY HOUSE!! We have reached day 10 of our April Coupon Campaign. It feels like I'm running out of companies to email. lol. There are a lot of companies that own different products so Pinnacle, Pepsi, S&C Johnson, Conagra...they may own lots of different types of products and I Try not to email the same "company" twice in one day. I try to spread my love evenly. :D

So, on to the good stuff!

Basically, all I'm doing is emailing my honest feedback to the companies that I purchase products from and I encourage others to do it too. They may just send you a "Thank you for your feedback!" email or they may send you some high value or Free Product coupons. I've gotten free dog food, free bottled water, free pantry items and I've even received samples!

I love it. I'm on a limited income and if providing my feedback helps the company and they, in turn, want to show their appreciation then why not? So today is the 10th of course, and that means for the next 10 days I will be emailing at least 10 companies and sharing my success and failures with you. I started this in January. You can read all of my posts regarding this topic here.

Coupon Campaign - April Day 8

Today is the day I am putting my workspace together! We are building a very small desk and I have ideas to help decorate my little area and make it comfy. I start work on Monday so I have to do to get ready. I'm super excited and very thankful. The weather here is bipolar! One day it snows and the next day it's 75 degrees, go figure. I'm still battling this bug but I think half of what I'm experiencing is a mixture between a cold and allergies. I've never had allergies like this before so I'm a little concerned as to why they are so extreme. (Happy 4/20!)
